This might sound absurd but go with me: do you think they'll consciously bench "Killing An Arab" because of loading the gun of casual onlookers who'll deliberately spin it?

In the current climate of Ann Widdecombes, Janice Turners and joyless right-wing rags hounding anyone having fun, I could see them reluctantly leaving it out. Something Bob's gone on record about countless times, rolling his eyes about the misinterpretation, but Glasto affords a much harsher lens. Might be a distraction they could do without.

For a while, they reworded it as "Killing Another". Personally, I'm hoping for a rousing rendition of "Killing a Tory".

It may be a fan favourite, but it's still a fairly slow, obscure album track.

Got to be honest, yep, the odds on that are coming in every day. VW at the Pyramid then up to the park for rex, could be a cracking Sunday evening

And then a very short stroll for Snapped Ankles in the Crows Nest after the fireworks.

There are points here where J Mascis isn’t so much playing the guitar as just taking the fucking piss out of it:

I've been a huge fan of Bob and his boys since getting a copy of the Standing On The Beach compilation in 1987 aged 11. I saw them in Manchester in 1992 and so I'm looking forward to seeing them again finally after a 27 year gap. Here's the setlist from that 92 show (something like this would do again)

1. Open
2. High
3. Pictures of You
4. Lullaby
5. Just Like Heaven
6. Fascination Street
7. One Hundred Years
8. Trust
9. Charlotte Sometimes
10. The Walk
11. Let's Go to Bed
12. Friday I'm in Love
13. Fire in Cairo
14. In Between Days
15. From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
16. Never Enough
17. Cut
18. End
19. Encore:
20. Dressing Up
21. Hot Hot Hot!!!
22. Why Can't I Be You?
23. Encore 2:
24. The Figurehead
25. Primary
26. Boys Don't Cry
27. Encore 3:
28. A Forest
29. Faith

Just wish they'd play Cut Here, definitely my favourite song of theirs!

They played in Dublin (Malahide castle) last weekend June 8 for about 2.5 hours. Edit: I see this has already been posted a few pages back along with the setlist but here it is again. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-cure/2019/malahide-castle-and-gardens-malahide-ireland-2b918ce2.html There's also a YouTube HD quality video up of the entire set if anyone wants to check that out.

So last night's setlist was exactly the same as the previous 2 apart from the addition of Never Enough half way through. Looks like this is it, can6see why they'd play this set at every other festival and then change it for Glastonbury.

Five songs in before they're gonna play something that'll be widely recognised by the average punters.  This is by no means a guaranteed slamdunk.

A Radiohead level non-fan exodus after a couple of songs it is then.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wouldnt bet against it. If Springsteen baffled people with Badlands and Prove It All Night then fuck knows what they're going to make of Burn.

[FloorFiller]

How long they getting at these other festivals? A tight 2 hours or their usual sprawling 2.5/3+ hours? Guessing our setlist will be witted down some as that seems like a lot of songs to squeeze in.

Ah it is though isn’t it? It’s about exciting the audience in front of you despite how genius you might think you are

[CaledonianGonzo]

Radiohead played Lucky and Airbag in their opening salvo and still triggered a mass exodus.

[Amy Lawn]

Tell you what lads, I thought Radiohead fucked it right up but I'm not a huge fan, the pencil necked specky four eyes dweebys who are into Radiohead all seemed to love it. If me and the rest of the body odour mopey fuckers who nobody wants to talk to at parties have a grand old time down the front of The Cure then idgaf what the normies at the back make of it. Janelle Monae is on at the same time, so it's not like the barren wasteland Friday night 2017 was.

[dentalplan]

There won't be a mass exodus from The Cure because nobody's off to see them to earn a badge to impress their peers, like seeing four songs of Radiohead would do.

The Streets on John Peel is gonna be like

Was thinking of watching the start before C&tQs, thinking again now...

Really? I'm no superfan like but I know more than half of the opening songs!

[Homer]

From the Nos Alive website re their upcoming set their:

"The Cure will play more than 2 hours of music, with an alignment designed by its extensive music catalogue, which includes international successes such as “Boys Don’t Cry”, “Close To Me”, “Just Like Heaven”, “Lovesong” and “Friday I’m In Love”. The Concert will also feature some of the favorite themes of the unconditional fans, such as “A Forest”, “Push”, “Pictures Of You”, “From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea” and “the End Of The World”, as well as some surprises."

I trust that clears it all up.

Also, Sunday headliner time is prime for people just hanging around the Pyramid in groups as they're too scared to do anything else. I actually know some people who I used to respect who watched Mumford and Sons, presumably for this reason (I've never had the bottle to ask them what they were thinking).
